Before sending your request for validation of jury composition for the defense, you must:

  • Validate 15 doctoral credits
  • First author 2 articles reporting original research, one of which has been accepted for publication
  • Have written a significant part of the thesis manuscript

It is not necessary to register again if you intend to defend your thesis before 31 December, but in this case, you should send your jury proposal 2 to 3 months before the defense date for initial validation.
